Dangerous levels of radiation in space could bar astronauts from a mission to Mars and limit prolonged activity on the moon, experts now caution.However, more research could reveal ways to handle the risks that radiation poses to space missions.The magnetic field of Earth protects humanity from radiation in space that can damage or kill cells. Once beyond this shield, people become far more vulnerable.owever, more research could reveal ways to handle the risks that radiation poses to space missions.

(Intermediate). If an asteroid the mass of the on the one that possibly caused the extinction of the dinosaurs struck the moon would the material expelled from the crater possibly reach earth and would it create massive meteorite impacts.n asteroid that large striking the Moon would release a large amount of energy and it probably would eject some of the moon rock into space, however I would guess that the bits would be quite small, so if they happened to be going in the right direction to hit the Earth they wouldn't cause too much damage.
